First off, tell me your symptoms.
Secondly, how many hours are on the engine. The timing is very easy to adjust if you have lots of time on your hands. If you are viewing the engine from the timing gear side, the pump alignment mark needs to go to the left to advance. There are 3 nuts the hold the pump to the gear housing.
Buy I need to know the symptoms before you waste your time for nothing. Not doubting you any, just don't want anyone to do something that is not necessary.

It does not sound like a timing issue in my opinion. The absolute first thing to do being im not familiar with boats is to check the entire fuel system. Even pull the tank and check for water. Check all fuel lines and connections. You may want to even install a new lift pump or convert to electric is it already does not have one.
If you do all that and it still does not fix the problem, you will need to invest in a new injector pump and make sure to specify the HP and application your engine is used in. Also get a new up to date add on water separtor as water is most likely what ruined your pump. IT IS FIXABLE, you just need some time on your hands.
Post back anytime and help will be on the way.
